No images? Click here John, A health crisis shouldn’t result in losing your home. But it happens to thousands of people in America every year — people like Adam.* Adam lived in his house in Detroit for over 40 years, planting deep roots in a neighborhood he was proud to call home. But when a health crisis put him out of work — bills and tax debt piled up. As months wore on, he got further and further behind. Like so many Americans struggling with the cost of health care, he found himself on the road to potential foreclosure. The home he had worked so hard for was at risk of being taken from him. I’m sure stories like Adam’s aren’t new to you, John. Fewer and fewer people can afford homes — the average cost of housing is 3X more than the average income! — and housing instability is becoming all too common in America. It’s why Prosperity Now is working towards solutions to help families thrive in an ever-shifting economy. And it’s why we need your help today. We rely on our community of supporters to get life-changing policies into action and help transform our economy to work for everyone. Please support our mission with a gift today. We can create more programs like the one that changed Adam’s life. Adam received help from a Prosperity Now Community Champion based in Detroit, who helped him work through his expenses and connect him to a local program that aids low-income homeowners in reducing their tax debts to a manageable amount. New solutions are around the corner that can help others in similar situations. Together, we can drive change. Support Prosperity Now with a generous gift today to help more people like Adam.
